Application filed March 19, 1928. Serial No. 95,925;

This improvement relates to new and useful improvements in a receptacleholder.

One object of the invention is toprovide a device of the characterdescribed specially 5 designed for the purpose of holding soap v trays,and similar containers and embodying a flexible vacuum cup for anchoringthe holder to a suitable support.

Another object of the invention is to provide a holder of the characterdescribed which may be readily detached from its sup'-.

ort, when not in use.

A further feature ofthe invention resides .in the provision of a holderof the character I described which is of simple and light constructionand may be cheaply and easily produced and readily carried about foruse.

With the above and other objects in view the invention has particularrelation to certain novel features of construction, arrangement of partsand use, an example of which is given in this specification andillustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 shows a cross sectional view of the soap tray, as mounted on aholder.

Figure 2 shows-a bottom plan view of the tray and holder, and 1 v Figure3'shows a cross sectional view of the tray showing a modified type ofholder.

Referrin now.more particularly to the drawings w erein like numerals ofreference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numeral 1deslgnates a container, a soap tray being illustrated in the presentinstance, The numeral 2 desi ates the holder as a whole, of the form sown in Figures 1 and 2.- This typeof holder is adapted to besecured tothe top, as 3, of a wash basin, or other supportln a horizontal plane.iThe 40 holder will preferably be formed'of sheet metal,or othermaterial and has the plate 4 forming an-anchor for the vacuum cup '5This cup is formed of rubber or other suitable flexible materialand isapplied to the 1 surface 3 in the well known manner and is held thereonby the normal air pressure. The

- plate 4 forms a platform on which the tray 1 v rests and formedintegrally with the plate there is the upturned bracket 6. This bracketis formed with a hook-7 which engages .over the adjacent edge of thetray. The bracket 6 has the integral outwardly turned legs 8, 8, whosefreeends are turned into 'a common plane with the free edge of thevacuum cup 5 so as to rest on the surface 3 and form braces for saidtray. y

In the formshown in Figure 3 the parts hereinbefore described aresubstantially similar to the corres onding parts shown in Fig ures 1 and2 an are designated by similar numerals, except that the vacuum cup 5 isanchored to the bracket 6 and is thereby adapted to be secured to thevertical side 9 of the basin or other support, as shown in Figure 3.

What I claim is:

1. A receptacle holder including a latform adapted to support a receptace, a bracket integral with the platform and upstanding therefrom, spacedh'ooks carried by said bracket adapted to engage the rim of thereceptacle on said platform, a vacuum cup anchored to said holder andadapted to support the same and a leg forming a brace integral'with theholder and' whose free end is turned into substantial alignment with therim of said cup.

2. A receptacle holder including a latform adapted to support a receptace, a

bracket integral with the standing therefrom, space gilatform anduphooks carried by said bracket adapted to en age the rim of thereceptacle on said plat orm, a vacuum cup'anchoredto said holder and.adapted to sup ort the same and a pair of legs integral wit the bracketon opposite sides of the cup and'whose free endsare turned intosubstantially a common plane with the rim of said cup.

v In testimony whereof. I have signed my name to this specification.WILLIAM T. HENRY.
